Shoaib, That looks like it worked thank you! Bruce, I am using the following compliler: C:\Dev\postgresql-8.1.4\src\interfaces\libpq\Release>nmake --help Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 7.10.3077 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Which came with Microsoft Visual C++ .NET Version 7.1.3088 Don't know if that helps or not! -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Momjian [mailto:bruce@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 3:41 PM To: Shoaib Mir Cc: DEV; pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [GENERAL] WIN32 Build?

To fix that, I think we need some compiler define test to tell us if it is a "standard" edition compiler. -- Bruce Momjian bruce@xxxxxxxxxx EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +
